By Tando Mfengwana30 June 2007

A 22-year-old Cape Town taxi driver was shot dead on Friday night.

Thuto Dupane from Mandalay was shot at by men driving a Toyota Cressida after he had dropped off a passenger at a house at the corner of Luzuko Drive and Myezo Street in Phillipi East.

“The suspects fired several shots at the driver, who sustained gunshot wounds to his chest and neck,” says Police spokesperson Siphokazi Mawisa.

He died on the scene.

The suspects fled the scene with the Toyota Cressida and are still at large.

“The motive at this stage is still unknown but all possibilities will be investigated,” said Mawisa.
